Pros

If you are lucky enough to be in a organization that tries to support their employees in their career path, you will have a good experience. If you have a good manager, then you have a great work/life balance.

Cons

If you aren't an engineer there isn't much career growth at all. You are viewed as more of the help then anything else. Yet they expect you to act just like the engineers and want you to volunteer for things yet they tell your managers not to pay you for volunteered time. The way they give raises is disheartening no matter what position you are in and sometimes you may not even get one at all.
